Absolutely. I Captain a 1984 56 Hatteras and have had my hands all over the boat in various stages of refits and modifications. We started out...
Here is a vantage point on 10/15/15 going under the infamous bridge on the Cal Sag on a 1981 56' Hatteras. More room than usual on this particular...
Just because it's corroed through doesn't mean it's a saltwater boat. Is there any evidence on the sea strainers, rust in the engine room, or...
Willy, as you are aware I know these boats well and spent the entire winter living aboard a 1984 56' Hatt Motor Yacht. I find as they get larger...
The locks are to keep the honest thieves out. If someone wants in, they will get in and that usually means they are breaking the door glass or...

We got stuck in New Buffalo waiting to bring Nightingale to North Shore last year, ended up getting there November 17th after 15 days straight of...
Very nice town to be stuck in for a little while, your bow cam is looking directly at the owner of Four Winns home with indoor dockage and quite a...
I used the fiberfix on our generator heat exchanger rubber end cap and it worked wonderfully. FYI if you ever need one of those replaced, I...
You are definitely running into rough lake season now. This weather we are having now is a blessing!
The rivets are actually very easy to find. I buy them locally at menards, 24 piece for 3.99. The material is called cyro acrylite and is...
When do you plan on coming through the lower Lake Michigan area?
W.C. Beardslee in the detroit area. They did the conversion on Nightingale as well. I have a fantastic guy in the Grand Haven area as well if you...
Any luck buffing the Hatt out?
